Colin Allred played in 32 games for the Tennessee Inbreds Titans from 2007 to 2010, recording 46 tackles, 0 sacks and 0 interceptions. Pro-football-reference.com gives him a career AV of 2.
His post-football career is more impressive. He got his JD at Berkeley then worked for Julian Castro at HUD. Now he represents Texas's 32nd district (Dallas and some suburbs) in the US House of Representatives. And he gives a great interview:
Now he's running to unseat Ted Cruz as the senator from Texas.
I’m running for U.S. Senate because Texans deserve a Senator whose team is Texas. Ted Cruz only cares about himself.

And he has a convincing pitch: Ted Cruz sucks. No one will argue with that.
Ted Cruz beat Beto O'Rourke by 215,000 votes despite the fact that Beto said he is in favor of taking guns from people which is the least Texan thing you can say. Seems to me that Allred only has to say "I played football at Baylor and in the NFL, and you can keep your guns" to pick up those necessary votes. What's more Texan than that?
I'll tell you what! During the January 6 riots, Allred texted his wife to tell her he loves her, then took off his jacket and tie and prepared to fight the mob with a stanchion. Ted Cruz retreated to a broom closet (and he wasn't pulling a Boris Becker, he was hiding). Eventually he came out of the closet and went to Cancun.
So I'm calling this race for Allred. Of course, I'm the idiot who thought Cory Booker had a convincing presidential pitch so what do I know.

I like the irrational confidence, but it's still Texas...

All in for Allred.
Also, any traction for G:TB contributors to unionize or align with WGA brothers? Can Rob and Teej be both bosses and strikers?
No unions.

in other news, did we know that matt gaetz got his j.d. at w&m? i learned (re-learned?) that today. real downer.
I believe we covered Gaetz's Tribe pride previously but there's no shame in memory-holing that fact.
Ah, mammary-holing. Takes me back.
Happy cinco de mayo, a culturally appropriated “holiday” as misinformed re: history and fact as any. More than St. Pat’s for sure.
Oh, did I have a margarita today? Of course.
ah, but is it? turns out it's an actually important day in american history in addition to being a marketing-driven phenomenon:mhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/made-by-history/2023/05/05/cinco-de-mayo-civil-war/.
i will also be having a margarita.
Well then. That’s… one to grow on.
